    Nice intro video, however do know that if you are buying a watch from Bob's or anywhere else for that matter, be sure that you're getting a watch with all matching serial numbers and not a Frankenstein model where the watch was pieced together from various watches as it will affect the value. I learned this the hard way after buying a President that I found out later had a Rolex bracelet but one that was not original to the watch and had been reconditioned. The same was true for the dial and watch hands. All parts were Rolex, but a mash-up from other watches that dramatically affected the watch value.

      lmao, how different are entry and luxury segments watch fans. You call it a "Frankenstein" and warn others, we call it a "seikomod" and wear proudly.
      P.S. ofc, it is a joke. That's horrible story, mate, I can't imaging how hard it hits to buy an expensive and very desirable piece you probably hunted for a months and find out that it is not the thing you willed to pay for.

    Some watch stores selling Rolex brand new, with box, tag, document but without Rolex Certificate card. They say they can authenticate their Rolex watches are real ones.

    Please help
    As someone who don’t wear jewelry or accessory, I’ve been wanting to get myself a Rolex watch for some time now.
    I would only wear it during special occasions since my skin can’t tolerate daily usage. I tried wearing both metal and leather straps and can only last for few hours before it feels like I’m being restraint.
    I’m eyeing the classic model and has an extra focus on Oyster Perpetual Explorer.
    I would love for this to be my one and only watch that I can passed on to my family.
    Any thoughts?

    • @JohnBowl14690
      @JohnBowl14690 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I would buy a Rolex if I wanted to spend money on a useless outdated relic. I don't wear watches because I have a cell phone which keeps perfect time. But if I think about it, a Rolex is the perfect way to get rid of excess money your don't need. Use it or lose it. So yes....I might also get a Rolex. If my cell phone battery dies, I will still have a Rolex on my arm as a backup.

    1966, nam, i was issued a army wrist watch and a rifle. Watches became hard to get. Gave mine to a friend that had a long tour left. I see e-bay prices are very high, i cant imaging a grunt ever selling his, the greedy, grieving, families must put it on line.

    It seems so cringey and corny to me you gotta "build a relationship" with a dealer in order to buy one...wtf is that? I'm here to buy a very expensive watch do you have it or not? Wtf..."we have to be friends first" is Rolex lowkey trying to turn into a cult?

    1 thing I can't get my head around. If I want an item but can't get hold of one due to supply there is NO CHANCE I am paying the same price second hand let alone more! Just get a different model. I think the only people who pay more than RRP are people with WAY TOO MUCH money...if you have too much money and want to spend it on nonsense, I can give you my details and you can just send me money whenever you want.

    Ok so, I dont think I've ever even seen a Rolex in person. Having said that I'd like to buy one for my son, and I'm talking for when he graduates college or something. Something to be held long term and passed down. Like an heirloom. But I've been hearing that you almost cant even get in the door to buy one unless you've already spent thousands building up a history with a dealer. Is this true? Ideally I want the sea dweller 126603. Brand new, in the box, unworn, with papers. So straight from the factory to the AD to me. How likely am I to get one. Keep in mind, I dont mind waiting. I'd need likely a couple years to come up with the roughly 18K price tag I saw.

    • @BertM3

      I got one a few days ago. Walked in the dealer, asked for one and they happened to have on on stock which was probably pure luck. This bla bla about building relations with dealers and waiting lists etc is just bla in my opinion. Waiting lists do not exist they are just there to keep you coming back. Dealers are not allowed to advertise what they have in stock and have to sell retail over the counter. So if you are looking for a watch, walk in and ask for any stainless sports watch they will most likely not sell you one as they think you are a watch flipper. The reason I bought one is pretty similar to yours, I got some money from my parents, didn't want to just put it in the bank but wanted to buy something something of value. 20 years ago when I graduated I got a watch as a present from them, that I still wear to today. The Seadweller I bought will probably go down to my kids later as well. One thing to note is that a seadweller is quite big, not only the size of the bezel but also the thickness due to it being a diving watc. It wears heavy on the wrist. I have 8 inch wrist circumference so can take the size but if you are buying something for your son later in the future it's a bit of a gamble size wise. The 18K you are referring to is the price on the gray market, from a dealer you are talking just over 12K.

    First Rolex I ever found interesting enough to pursue was the z-blue Milgauss. I talked to my AD last December and waited and waited and waited some more.Then mid- May I went out of state to three other ADs, then in June went to two others in yet another state. In total, six ADs in three different states. I got a call from an SA from one of the three I visited in May called me six weeks later. She was competing with seven other SAs in her shop, yet she got it for me in six weeks.

      Had you bought a lot of inventory from any of those shops previously to buying that one?

      @@richardsanchez9190 I got my z-blue Milgauss in July and my Polar Exp II in November from that AD. I hadn't even communicated with or visited them till May of 2021. Only things I bought from them are those two watches. I also got a Batman on jubilee from another AD. Briefly visited them end of June, asked for a Pepsi or Polar. In late July or early August I asked for the Batman on jubilee, got the call for it end of Sept. Only thing I bought from them too. Both are out of state for me, two different states. I know my situation is out of the norm, but I did the legwork, visited in person, showed genuine interest in watches, and didn't act like I deserved to jump in front of others to get these items which are in incredibly high demand. Just turned out for me.

      Rolex the most overhyped brand there is. Exclusive???? They produce 1000000 pieces a year. Grand Seiko and Zenith produce 35000 pieces a year. Both are technical better and are better time keepers. But most of the people are living in LALA land. They pay over 10K-12K for a sport watch, that cost 2K to produce. The rest of the money is spend on marketing and the overhyped AD stores. Rolex dump the watches self on the grey market. I sold my Sub years ago and i'm glad with my Zenith and two Grand Seiko's.
